Little Cow Amigurumi Keychain Crochet Pattern

In the previous video, we made a cute little piglet keychain. Today, I’ll show you how to crochet its charming companion: a tiny cow. This small amigurumi is built on the same easy-to-follow base as the piglet, making it quick and beginner-friendly. Let’s get started!

Pattern Basic Points

  • Body Construction:
    Uses the same base pattern as the piglet—head, body, and legs are all worked as a continuous piece.
  • Snout, ears, tail, horns, and spots:
    Each is worked separately and sewn onto the main body.
  • Keychain Feature:
    A hanging chain allows you to attach a keyring or use it as a pendant.
  • Safety Eyes:
    Added between rounds for secure, expressive features.
  • Colorwork:
    Simple color changes add personality: classic white, black, pink, and dark beige.

Special Notes

  • Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.
  • Stuff parts lightly as you go to ensure smooth shaping.
  • Placement of safety eyes, ears, and features affects the cow’s personality.
  • The “spot” shapes are irregular and can be customized in size/number.
  • Sew each piece securely for durability as a keychain or pendant.
  • Adjust yarn colors for different cow breeds or playful style.
